Abstract :
A partial implementation of a multielement tactile sensor based on piezoelectric polymer technology is presented. The sensor´s ability to resolve the shear stress component acting on it under axisymmetric, normal loading at its boundary is demonstrated. This feature is thought to be instrumental in revealing slippage detection during object grasping and manipulation
